In April, NXT and CW announced a multi-year agreement for 20 premium live events to air on the broadcaster, beginning with the Great American Bash.
NXT’s previous streaming deal with Peacock expired this past March and led to April’s Stand & Deliver event streaming worldwide on YouTube.
The last weekend of June will now include WWE Night of Champions from Saudi Arabia, TNA Slammiversary, AEW Forbidden Door, and the Great American Bash.
